INDIAN STYLE COPIED MODERN YOUNG WOMAN RESEMBLES POCAHONTAS. Feathers and Beads Worked Into a Bandeau In True Indian Fashton "*■ Is Now Rage for DarkHaired Girls. The modern young woman might almost be mistaken for a reincarnated Pocahontas in her new coiffure a ITndienne, which Is made of feathers and beads in bonaflde Indian style. But they are rarifled feathers and glorified beads, and the Pocahontas bandeau is really a most dainty and pretty ornament —provided one has the youth, the winsomeness and the dash to carry it off. The bandeau is made of velvet ribbon, bound at the edges with silver braid, and over the velvet between the braid is set a strip of filet lace sewn thickly with flashing rhinestones and white pearl beadF This bandeau passes around the head and fastens over the left ear under an ornament of velvet and rhinestone, one long end of the bandeau continuing down to touch the shoulder. Two white ostrich quills, trimmed with squares of velvet ornamented with rhinestones, are thrust through the bandeau, and also slant backward and downward, giving the savage Indian effect. It is the exceptional hair dressing that is ungraced by some scintillating ornaments. If one possesses a string of pearls or diamonds, these ‘ are wound in the hair and allowed to fall in graceful loops. Imitation pearls may be used in the same way, but strings of rhinestones are not considered good form for wear as ornaments, fashionable as they are as dress trimmings. All manner of dashing quills aiid aigrettes, mounted on shell pins, are favored for evening wear in the coiffure, and the more rakish the slant of the aigrette the of mature years now effects a modest, upright aigrette in her hair, and younger women wear their coiffure ornaments in much more dashing style. It is unusual to see an aigrette standing out directly at right angles to the head, over one ear, and, though this is exceeding chic as far as appearances go, it can not be .very comfortable for. one’s escort, who sits beside one at the theater, for the‘long aigrette would most certainly tickle his ear or brush into his eyes as he turned his head suddenly.
